Finally, consider where the foul occurred: beyond (downfield from) the basic spot or behind the basic spot = 2 possibilities.
That's a total of 4 combined possibilities for the foul: offense or defense, beyond or behind the basic spot.
All penalties are enforced from the basic spot
but one: fouls committed by the offense behind the basic spot are penalized from the spot of the foul.
